Sir, you're fully aware that in our government's budget speech, the Minister of Finance, in a document dealing with the taxation system, equalization and rebalancing the federation, entrusted me with the mandate to report and make recommendations to the Minister of Finance by the end of the year so that in terms of the infrastructure, we will have a predictable, long-term and stable instrument just like the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and other stakeholders called for.
I will consult with municipal authorities on the matter. Of course, we are discussing the gas tax, as well as other issues. And, I intend to make recommendations to the government on this file after consulting with community stakeholders.
